SINGLES
|
Betting on one outcome only to occur. eg: Bet on Spain to win the World Cup 2006
|
|
EACH WAY
|
The Bet is split into 2 parts (for double the stake). One part is a win bet. and the other covers the first 3 or 4 places (depending on the number of runners, and the bookie). This second part pays out at a quarter of the win odds.
|
|
DOUBLES
|
Betting on two events, both of which must win. Returns are greater because the odds are multiplied.
|
|
TREBLES
|
Can give even greater returns, but of course for more risk.
|
|
ACCUMULATOR
|
A four match (a term given to multiple bets, each dependent on the other winning) = Odds of 1.5, 2.2, 1.8, 4.0. A £10 bet would return £237.60 if all the matches came in.
|
|
COMPLEX BETS
|
Various bets can be placed which cover many combinations (see
Sportingbet
– info)
|
|
FIRST SCORER
|
and CORRECT SCORE are self-explanatory
|
|
SCORECAST
|
Combines First Scorer AND Correct Score into one bet. Big returns if it comes in.
|
|
OVER/UNDER
|
For example, whether a match will produce over or under a certain amount of goals – usually will it be less than 2.5 goals or more. If two defensive or two attacking teams are playing this bet is worth a look.
